Stress is a VERY: common trigger of excessive sweating or hyperhidrosis. Dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system. including the sympathetic nerves may be responsible as well as an abnormal number/distribution of eccrine/sweat glands. Many diseases are associated: diabetes/other glandular conditions, shingles, cancers, infections, medications. Natural Rx: sage tea/tablets, chamomile, acupuncture, SweatHelp.org
